Monsieur X
- Monsieur X: Please, monsieur, is the news good or bad?
- Claude Chavasse: That depends. Is this your wife?
- [Hands over a photograph]
- Monsieur X: It looks like her.
- Claude Chavasse: Then I regret to inform you that it looks bad.
- Monsieur X: Then there IS another man!
- Claude Chavasse: There is. And I regret to say that he looks good.
- Claude Chavasse: You do realize that this is cold-blooded murder.
- Monsieur X: I do.
- Claude Chavasse: And that you might spend years in jail?
- Monsieur X: I may.
- Claude Chavasse: Is there nothing I can say to dissuade you from this foolhardy scheme?
- Monsieur X: Nothing whatsoever.
- Claude Chavasse: In that case, Monsieur, you leave me no choice. I must insist on being paid as of right now.
- Monsieur X: Oh, how much?
- Claude Chavasse: 60,000 francs... It should really be more because with Mr. Flannagan removed, there will be a sharp drop in my business.
- Monsieur X: When a man sweats in the morning it's either because he's had a very good night, or a very bad night.
- Monsieur X: Personally, I've had a very good night.
